Grow Batheaston celebrate the completion of several areas of wildflower meadow on the Elmhurst estate.

This project was made possible by a grant from Your Park which enables us to buy the seed and plug plants and work with volunteers to scarify the areas by hand and then sow and trample in the seed mix.

Eco Together Welcome and Outreach

Eco Together is being run by Transition Bath, based on similar successful projects elsewhere in the country. It brings together small groups of neighbours, friends or colleagues for 5 structured sessions to support each other in making changes that tackle climate change and the cost of living crisis in ways that suit each person best. Eco Together helps people do the eco-activities that have been on the list for a long time and will be very satisfying to complete!
